The Business & Goals

Elevate your operations, and achieve your goals.

  • Streamline production processes: The H3O MES will simplify complex environments into an easy-to-manage and efficient operation, streamlining the production processes and enabling businesses to improve efficiency and maximize productivity.

  • Provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface: The Web Framework UI is highly functional and user-friendly, offering an intuitive interface that makes it easy to access and manage production processes. The Autolabeller and Event Engine are also highly configurable and easy to use, providing a flexible and configurable interface to drive labelling and event processes.

  • Enable real-time monitoring and reporting: The Web UI, Event Engine, and Autolabeller offer advanced reporting and monitoring capabilities, making it easy to maintain the quality of production environments. With detailed reports and real-time monitoring, businesses can quickly identify and resolve any issues that arise, ensuring that production processes run smoothly at all times.

  • Provide compatibility with a wide range of systems: The Event Engine is compatible with a wide range of factory floor systems, while the Autolabeller is highly flexible, with compatibility across a wide range of leading barcode printers, windows printers, and label applicators. Konnect is also a powerful tool that enables any system to receive and send data from any other system, providing compatibility with a wide range of IT systems.

  • Increase accuracy and compliance: The Autolabeller's compliance with GS1 standards ensures that all labels are fully compatible with global supply chain requirements, providing increased efficiency and reliability in labelling processes. Additionally, configurable rules in the Autolabeller reduce the risk of human error and streamline the labelling process, saving time and increasing accuracy.

The Building Blocks

A cutting-edge system leveraging four key components.

ONE

Web Framework UI

Our Web Framework UI is a highly advanced tool that provides a comprehensive solution to read, write, and display data from multiple databases. It is designed to be highly functional and user-friendly, offering an intuitive interface that makes it easy to access and manage.

With a strong focus on simplicity and configurability, the Web UI is an ideal tool for businesses of all sizes. It is highly configurable and can be customised to meet your specific production needs. Our solution is designed to streamline production processes, improving efficiency and maximising productivity.

The Web UI offers advanced reporting and monitoring capabilities, making it easy to maintain the quality of production environments. With detailed reports and real-time monitoring, you can quickly identify and resolve any issues that arise, ensuring that the production processes run smoothly at all times.

Whether you're at the office or on the go, the Web UI puts you in complete control of the production process. Manage and access production data from any location, enabling users to stay on top of business operations.

TWO

Device and Event Engine

The Event Engine is a powerful and highly configurable device-level interface that facilitates the transfer of events and data between various factory floor systems. Providing a seamless connection to a range of devices such as Ethernet devices and OPC devices, enabling communication with label printers, scanners, applicators, message displays and virtually any PLC via an OPC Server. Additionally, the Event Engine is capable of interfacing with RS232 devices as well as databases and file devices.

Configuration of the Event Engine is simple and intuitive, allowing users to link devices, events, and transactions to create dynamic sequences of interactions. For example, the exchange of data between the system and a robot applicator can be easily configured with the following steps: pallet in position signal from the PLC, read order number from the PLC, send data to the applicator, receive validation scan, and finally send confirmation to the PLC to move pallet.

By using the Event Engine, your MES can dynamically interact with your factory floor systems. This allows for complete automation, control, and tracking of your factory floor processes. The Event Engine can drive your automation needs, compatible with the factory floor's diverse technological ecosystem.

Transforming complex production environments into an easy-to-manage and efficient operation.

THREE

Auto Labeller

With power and versatility, the Autolabeller is designed to streamline and automate labelling processes. With full integration with the Device and Event Engine, the Auto Labeller is just as flexible and just as configurable.

One of the standout features of the Autolabeller is its compliance with GS1 standards, ensuring full compatibility with global supply chain requirements. Allowing users to confidently label their products in compliance with industry standards, providing increased efficiency and reliability in their labelling processes.

Flexible compatibility allows our users to choose the equipment that best suits their needs, preventing users from being limited by software compatibility constraints.

Additionally, the Autolabeller offers configurable rules to generate key fields such as SSCC, expiration date, and batch number from material master data received from other key systems. This automation significantly reduces the risk of human error and streamlines the labelling process, saving time and increasing accuracy.

Four

Konnect

What sets Konnect apart is its high transactional power that allows data formats to be interpreted, enabling any system to receive and send data from any other system. This powerful tool can be a game-changer for businesses, automating tasks, preventing double entry, and much more. Konnect's user-friendly interface also allows for reporting on message transactions, providing a better understanding of your data.


As a .Net application, Konnect is built to tackle communication challenges between IT systems. Konnect is based on Microsoft .NET, XML, and XSLT technologies, providing flexibility for future applications. Offering a detailed reporting service that has been deployed on hundreds of servers worldwide.

Tailored to meet your specific needs, with options for cloud or on-premise solutions. Allowing businesses to focus on growth without the common communication roadblocks within a factory floor environment.
